“…This is the case of SFP 11-14, whose multicomponent structure and 6-session version are effective in reducing internalizing and externalizing symptoms in adolescents, showing that it is possible to reduce these symptoms in universal populations through short-length programmes. The results coincide with systematic reviews [ 6 , 10 ] and with the results of other EBP [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] where families are used as a key strategy in the prevention or reduction of symptoms in adolescents.…”

This study analyses the influence of trainers' intrapersonal and group management competences on the effectiveness of the Universal Strengthening Families Program 11-14 (SFP 11-14). More specifically, it assesses the effect of these competences on internalizing and externalizing symptoms in adolescents. The analysed data is made up of ratings given by the 174 mothers participating in SFP 11-14. The results confirm the effectiveness of SFP 11-14 in reducing internalizing and externalizing symptoms in adolescents. Using linear regression models, evidence is provided of the influence of the trainers' expertise, in terms of their competences, in improving internalizing symptoms in adolescents (through a reduction in levels of anxiety, depression, and somatization and in the global internalization scale). Emphasis is placed on how trainer competences can impact on the effectiveness of evidence-based programmes, stressing that this should be taken into account by the public authorities and other stakeholders in the assessment and design of family evidence-based programmes.

“…10 However, to our knowledge, relatively few interventions have targeted behavior problems at their onset in 1-and 2-year-old children, particularly in routine health services. 8,11 Notable exceptions support the feasibility and efficacy of parent training for families of infants in the home 12,13 and the effectiveness of group parent training for 2-to 4-year-old children in health care settings. 14 There is also some support for the long-term benefits of early interventions on behavior outcomes.…”

A Brief Home-Based Parenting Intervention to Reduce Behavior Problems in Young Children

Behavior problems are one of the most common mental health disorders in childhood and can undermine children's health, education, and employment outcomes into adulthood. There are few effective interventions for early childhood. OBJECTIVE To test the clinical effectiveness of a brief parenting intervention, the Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD), in reducing behavior problems in children aged 12 to 36 months. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Healthy Start, Happy Start study was a 2-group, parallel-group, researcher-blind, multisite randomized clinical trial conducted via health visiting services in 6 National Health Service trusts in England. Baseline and 5-month follow-up data were collected between July 30, 2015, and April 27, 2018. Of 818 eligible families, 227 declined to participate, and 300 were randomized into the trial. Target participants were caregivers of children who scored in the top 20% for behavior problems on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Participants were randomly allocated on a 1:1 basis to receive either VIPP-SD (n = 151) or usual care (n = 149), stratified by site and number of participating caregivers. Analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Statistical analysis was performed from September 5, 2019, to January 17, 2020. INTERVENTIONS All families continued to access usual care. Families allocated to VIPP-SD were offered 6 home-based video-feedback sessions of 1 to 2 hours' duration every 2 weeks. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the score on an early childhood version of the Preschool Parental Account of Children's Symptoms, a semistructured interview of behavior symptoms, at 5 months after randomization. Secondary outcomes included caregiver-reported behavior problems on the Child Behavior Checklist and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. RESULTS Among 300 participating children (163 boys [54%]; mean [SD] age, 23.0 [6.7] months), primary outcome data were available for 140 of 151 VIPP-SD participants (93%) and 146 of 149 usual care participants (98%). There was a mean difference in the total Preschool Parental Account of Children's Symptoms score of 2.03 (95% CI, 0.06-4.01; P = .04; Cohen d = 0.20 [95% CI, 0.01-0.40]) between trial groups, with fewer behavior problems in the VIPP-SD group, particularly conduct symptoms (mean difference, 1.61 [95% CI, 0.44-2.78]; P = .007; d = 0.30 [95% CI, 0.08-0.51]). Other child behavior outcomes showed similar evidence favoring VIPP-SD. No treatment or trial-related adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that VIPP-SD was effective in reducing symptoms of early behavior problems in young children when delivered in a routine health service context.

Inhibitory control skills are important for academic outcomes across childhood, but it is unknown whether inhibitory control is implicated in the association between genetic variation and academic performance. This study examined the relationship between a GWAS-based (EduYears) polygenic score indexing educational attainment (EA PGS) and inhibitory control in early (M age = 3.80 years) and middle childhood (M age = 9.18 years), and whether inhibitory control in early childhood mediated the relation between EA PGS and academic skills. The sample comprised 731 low-income and racially/ethnically diverse children and their families from the longitudinal early steps multisite study. EA PGS predicted middle childhood inhibitory control (estimate = 0.09, SE = 0.05, p < 0.05) and academic skills (estimate = 0.18, SE = 0.05, p < 0.01) but did not predict early childhood inhibitory control (estimate = 0.08, SE = 0.05, p = 0.11); thus, mediation was not tested. Sensitivity analyses showed that effect sizes were similar across European and African American groups. This study suggests that inhibitory control could serve as a potential mechanism linking genetic differences to educational outcomes.
